Slog - Comments on Watada Court-Martial Update http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/watada_court-martial_update The Seattle Times caught Sean Penn outside the Fort Lewis gates, protesting and smoking: And inside the courtroom is The Stranger's Sage Van Wing, who tells me that the military judge has ruled all of Lt.
